I figured it couldn't possibly be that easy. I'm not a fan of jailbreaking, as I know just enough to get myself into trouble. So, I guess I'll be reduced to looking for the nearest starbux, and investing in their stock for a couple weeks.:) > Thanks for the info. > > Carolyn > On Jun 4, 2010, at 11:34 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> There is actually a way to do this here in the U.S. You can purchase a program called PDANet, which will allow you to tetherh your phone. However, the one major caveat is that for it to work, you will have to jailbreak your iphone. I don't have the URL, but if you google PDAnet, you can find there site, at which you will find instructions for jailbreaking the phone. >> good luck, >> Donna >> On Jun 4, 2010, at 1:04 PM, Kimberly thurman wrote: >> >>> Carolyn, I don't think you can do this in the US yet, but it's coming very soon.
